blamed if that amt heep to know in the case
of q mule" The number of mules brought
from the west into Mississippi is constantly
growing smaller, and in few years will en-
tirely cease, save in occasional instances.
This state is not solely cotton producing
state. 1t is true that this season the cotton
crop here has been better than it has been in
any southern state. The early drought did
not affect it here as it did in Georgia, Ala
bana and Texas, consequently the yield was
better, the quality better, and in every way the
crop more of a success. But the corn crop of
the state is a large one, and will hereafter grow
larger and larger The corn lands of Missis-
sippi yield surprisingly. At the recent large
fair held in the state the premium for the
greatest number of bushels of corn made per
acre was awarded to man who gathered 1i5.
This was phenomenal, but sixty to seventy-five
is not in certain quarters. In Cohoama county,
corn is made in larger quantity than in any
county in Georgia; in Washington county, and
i'll all the delta counties, not very much is
raised, but the upland counties in other parts
of the state produce WE'LL The state is improv-
ing greatly in this respect, and if it keeps on
will before long have the corn crib and the
smoke house at home. And when that day
comes, it can be truly said that Mississippi has
really entered upon an era of prosperity.

About week ago a Harlem hotel and res
taurant keeper received from friend In the south
a nice, fat opossum for his Thanksgiving dinner,
and as the animal was but little known in Harlem
the proprietor of the hotel hung 1t curiosity in
front of the restaurant along with j number Of
chickens and turkeys. Unt last night the "'pos-
sum" hung almost unnoticed It was supposed to
be either rabbit or q large squirrel
About eleven 0 clock last night as the restaurant
was filed with uptown theatre-goers, an old gray
haired colored man stopped for a moment in from
of the store and his eye rested on the "possum."
look of surprise was followed by one Of mere
dull,y. but nearer view fatisled the old man that
was the bona fde article, and wistful look
into his face rs he entered the restaurant One
last, fond look at the "'possum," and he slowly
disappeared down the avenue.
Ten minutes passed, when once again the old
man appeared before the window The "'possu1n"
was once more fondled and admired, and again the
old man DISAPPEARED. The crowd was about to
leave the tables when once again the old man en-.
tered the restaurant
'"Cuse me, boss" said the old darby 70 the
cashier; lis that 'possum outside?"

"a real old postum from Yirginny? What might

his pockets and bringing 10 light few ten cent
pieces and coIpers.

The old man shambled toward the door. Return.
ing to the desk he laid seyentythree cents ON the
top. "Ill give you that for the possnin," said the
cid man. but the clerk could not be moved, and tho
tears started in the old mans eyes as he left the
restaurant for the last time.
IT was probably fifteen minutes later when the old
darby was seen walking briskly toward the Testau-
rant lie stopped for a moment in front Of the
"'pogsum," looked hastily about and with sweep
of knife parted the "'possum" from the string and
started down the avenue like three yea rold with

Alta special meeting this morning of the board
OF trustees OF the state university resolution
was adopted recommending to the legislature
plan to reorganize the South Carolina college
sive engagements in all tho existing depart
ments the addition of several new depart
ments, and in particular the material enlarge
meDt of the agricultural branch of the institu-
ton. The recommendation as the later feature
is made, it is to be presumed, for the purpose
class of the farming element of the state who,
led by Farmer" Tillman, arc now clamoring

the recommendation Of the board of trustees.

PROVIDING FOR CONTEMPORARIES.
"A Home to be Erected for the Veterans of
the Confectionery.


COLUMBIA, 5. O., November 2i.--TSpecial. /
one OF the most important bills to be intro
duced into tho house of representatives within
the next few days is one by DIR. Pope, repre-
sentative from Newberry, the object of which
IS TO provide a state home for the disabled con-
Nderate soldiers and sailors of South Carolina.
Tho provisions of this bill include, first, call
for the donation of not less than 100 acres of
land and $4,000 for the buildings to be erect
ed, from any locality in the state; the board of
trustees contemplated in the bill to pass upon
ana decide the location from among those
protered. The entire management of the in
stitution will be vested in this board of trus-
tees the members of which are named in the
bill, and include the most prominent of the
states confederate leaders. The number of
beneiciares to be admitted to the homo is to
be equal to the representation of both houses of
the legislature, and apportioned among the
various counties in proportion to their repre-
sentation in the Legislature. The bill further
provides for an annual appropriation by the
legislature of $4,000 for the support of the in
stltution. The measure will doubtless go
through both houses with little or no opposi-
tion.

New York, Feb. 24-Betting is
lively on the coming ocean yacht race
between the schooner yachts Coronet
and Dauntless, though as yet chiefly
confined to yachtsmen. A club man
said last night there was as much as
100000 up on the race already. At
the New York Clubhouse the Daunt-
less is the favorite. Several bets
of two to one on the Dauntless
have been made. Great faith is
pinned on Captain Samuels, the old
skipper of the Dauntless. The Coro-
net is nine feet longer than the
Dauntless, and this is important in a
race over long swells and high seas.

An Ancient New.Mexican City.

To the eastward of Socorro, New
Mexico, two prospectors few days ago
accidentally stumbled upon indications
of ancient ruins projecting above the
shifting sands of the plain. A careful
examination convinced them that be-
meath their feet buried in the desert
sands lay the ruins of an ancient town.
Turning to with their shovels TO explore
their find few hours work brought
them to the floor of a small room in the
form of parallelogram. The SocOrro
Bullion thus describes the relics un-
earthed: "They found the remains of
several human beings, several handsome
vases carved with geOmetrical figures in
different cOlOrs, stone axes, hammers,
pieces of cloth apparently manufactured
from the fibre Of yucca, several strings of
beads, seashells, arrow-heads, an abun-
dance of fragments of Obsidian quartz,
and an incredible quantity of pieces of
broken pottery, including several with
blue glazing. Only in one other instance
have we ever heard of this color and
quantity of ware having been discovered
in this Territory, and that was at the
ancient pueblo near the Santa Rita, in
this country, and it indicates that the
Spaniards had lived in New Mexico be-
fore the extinction of the race who in
habited this ruined and buried village" "
The miners do not know whether they
tapped the best or the poorest spot in
their buried town in this first excavation.
They have, however, resolved to con
tinue digging. They are of the opinion
that they may be able to unearth a cabi-
net of curios the sale of which will
bring them more coin than they would
make in the same time at prospecting for
precious metals Virginia city (Ne0)

San Francisco has many admirers and
but few haters, writes Edward Roberts
in the New York Post. In some respects
it is the most interesting city in America
to visit, whatever it may be to live in
The interesting features are varied and
many, and all visitors are impressed with
the unlikeness Of the place to any other
American city. Every nationality seems
to be represented China in one quarter,
Italy in another, Germany here, France
there. You can dine in the restaurant OF
any country as inclination prompts,
served by an almond-eyed Celestial or by
Il courteous Frenchman; and if tired OF
wandering in quarters that apparently
are not in America at all, you have but to
turn the corner and walk block to find
everything as American as heart could
wish. | think, and indeed know, that !
should never enjoy living in San Fran.
CISCO and | am equally sure that my visits
to it will never be otherwise than agree
able. The city, like Paris, for instance,
has a liveliness and buoyancy that quick.
ems ones sense of enjoyment; and then,
too, the climate is invigorating, and
one sees more flowers sold on the street
corners' than he has been accustomed TO
in our staid old Eastern cities, that would
be shocked, fear, if they had to coun
tenance all the gayetics of San Francisco
1t is far from being an eminently proper
place, this city of which | write. Many
of its people go to church, but as many
more do not, and the places of amusement
have the most liberal patronage. There
are vast numbers of underground concert
and beer saloons, where the air is hot and
foul, and from which one hears bolster
Gus music and shouts of noisy applause.
Such places are called "dives;" and their
presence gives to San Francisco many of
the characteristics Of mining towns in
Colorado The theatres of the city, are
as arule, dingy in appearance and unat-
tractiye, the only exceptions being the
Baldwin and the Acazar, two play
houses where one feels at home and is
able TO enjoy much comfort But the
plays presented at all the theatres are
equal to those given in the East.
